Crunchyroll Winter 2026 Anime on Prime Video Channels UK – Full Lineup
The Winter 2026 anime season is shaping up to be one of the strongest in recent memory, headlined by the return of Jinwoo in Solo Leveling.
For UK viewers, the days of needing a separate app for every service are fading. Thanks to the Crunchyroll channel on Amazon Prime Video, you can stream the biggest simulcasts directly within your existing Prime interface. It keeps your billing in one place and often provides a more stable bitrate on TV apps.
Here are the top titles confirmed or highly anticipated for the January 2026 lineup that you can watch via the Prime add-on.

How the Prime Channel Works
If you already have Amazon Prime, you can add the Crunchyroll Fan or Mega Fan subscription as a "Channel."
- Fan (£4.99/month): Ad-free streaming, access to the entire library, and simulcasts as soon as they air in Japan (subbed).
- Mega Fan (£5.99/month): All the above, plus offline viewing downloads.
The key benefit? You don't need to create a separate Crunchyroll account or remember another password. It all sits inside the Prime Video app you likely already use on your TV.
